PDI Showcases New Environmental Services Offerings at 2014 AHE EXCHANGE Conference
PDI will showcase its new Sani-Cloth® Pail and Refill format for Sani-Cloth® Bleach and Sani-Cloth® AF3 Germicidal Disposable Wipes at the Association for the Healthcare Environment (AHE) Annual EXHANGE Conference, Sept. 21-24, 2014 in Tampa, Fla.
The Sani-Cloth® line is the leading surface disinfectant wipe in healthcare and features formulations to address all surface disinfection needs in a facility . The new pail and refill format is specifically designed to address the needs of Environmental Services Professionals (EVS) and contains 160 pre-moistened, ready-to-use, extra-large wipes. Each pre-moistened wipe contains the proper concentration of disinfectant, reducing labor time and compliance issues associated with mixing or measuring chemicals. Sani-Cloth® Pail and Refill meets The Association for the Healthcare Environment (AHE) Practice Guidance for Environmental Cleaning.
PDI recognizes the integral role of EVS professionals play in maintaining a safe healthcare environment. In recognition of those efforts, early visitors to the PDI booth (#223) will be “treated” to a limited supply of mini-pails filled with candy. The company also offers educational resources for EVS staff, including whitepapers and case studies discussing collaboration between Infection Control and Environmental Services departments and programs incorporating both hand hygiene and environmental disinfection to reduce healthcare-associated infections and improve patient outcomes.
